Article Points Out
Value of Welfare
Work In County
Some cf the results of welfare
work done in this county are listed
in the following article received by
Miss Lucy Leach before it was
known that her services are to be
discontinued:
The welfare work in Warren county
is not only rehabilitating individuals
but actually saving the taxpayers
money.
During the past years cataracts
lave been removed from the eyes
:f two blind inmates of the county
lome, restoring their sight. One was
in old colored man whose wife was
cept at the home also, for she was
leeded to lead him around. Since
he operation, this couple has been
>laced in a home. The county gives
;hem a small, amount of money
ach monih?not near what it cost
o keep them at the county home.
Vith the help ctf relatives and
leighbors, the couple is getting
ilong fairly well. The other man
vhose sight was restored was a
olored man between the ages of
0 and 40 years, who has been makng
his living ever since the miracle
if sight restoration occurred.
Two white children who were losng
their sight to the extent that
hey had attended the state school
or the blind were given treatment.
?heir sight was saved and they are
tow planning to go to school with
he other children in the county
his fall.
The eyes of a colored boy who was
hreatened with blindness were
reated. His sight was saved. Now
ie attends school regularly.
Since the beginning cf the welare
work in Warren County money
,as been raised from private
ources, the gifts of interested citiens,
to give hospital treatment to
;undreds of people who were ill and
cor. A number of cripples have
een sent to the state orthopedic
tospitai and have since become selfupporting.
For instance, one white
roman who faced the future as a
lelpless invalid1 was treated and is
tow improved. In order to enable
hem to go to school, a number of
hildren have been given medical
reatment, some at clinics.
Last winter the county was well
rganized. In each part of the ccuny
citizens of the white and colored
aces aided in looking after those

They reported to the welare
superintendent these cases
rtiich they felt unable to handle.
Trese co-workers helped with the
nforcement of the school atteniance
laws, collected and distribut-'
d food to the needy and to the
ick. They did a fine work, though
landicapped for lack of funds.

Negro, Held In
Death Mystery, Is
Given Freedom
Charles F. Williams, young negro
man, was given his freedom Monday
morning by Judge W. W. Taylor
after spending three weeks in
the Warren county jail in connection
with the death of Annie Alston,
negro woman who was found dead
in the driveway leading into the
backyard of the home of H. L.
Falkener of Warrenton on the night
of June 26.
The negro was committed to jail
following a coroner's inquest on a
charge of moving a dead body, but
when he was brought into the hall
of justice on Monday morning to
face trial, Judge W. W. Taylor and
Frank Banzet, prosecuting in the
absence of Solicitor Daniel, failed
to find in 'the statutes where the
negro had violated a law in moving
the body for several feet. It is
unlawful, it was said, to move a
dead body from one county or
precinct to another without permission
but with that exception no
ruling was found in connection with
the body of a dead person who has
not been buried.
Annie Alston was found dead on
the night of June 26 after Charles
Williams reported to officials the
finding cf a listless form in the
driveway back of Mir. Falkener's
residence. A coroner's jury was impaneled
and evidence was brought
out that she was up town drunk
on Saturday night and was being
accompanied to the home of her kin
by Joe King Williams, "Lindbergh"
vvtmii *r 5 TTT: n i rv?i
Williams, riorace ana wuiiam mimer,
amd when she reached the
vicinity of the jail corner she
"passed out" and was carried to
the driveway and left <to "sober-up."
At the inquest Charles Williams told
several' conflicting stories about
leaving the woman in the driveway
and finding the body, but finally
testified that he had gone back
there, found her dead, moved her
body so it could not easily have been
seen from the street Sunday, later
pulled her from the covering and
reported finding the woman.
There were no other cases in
Recorder's court this week.

If history teaches anything, it is
this, that when the masses of the

Some relief from the intensity of

The mercury reached its highest ]

their thermometers registered 102 <
degrees around 2 o'clock in the ,

the mercury was touchng the 96 (

Although the torrid weather has
restrained vegetable growth and
been unpleasant, the people here (

death has resulted. No deaths, as
far as it is known, have occurred in j}
this county from tne neat.

by Joe Pritchard and several trustees.
Surprised at a sawmill near
Louisburg, the negro made a break

Improvement Made
Mailing Facilities
Improvement in mailing facilities
was made this week when Uncle
Sam placed a standard mail box
before the Warrenton post office.
Not only does the new box give
the town a modern, touch, but its
placement is a big help to strangers
who are not familiar with the manner
in which letters are mailed here
after the post office is closed.
Heretofore (the only manner in
which letters have been mailed late
at night has been by slipping them
in a narrow cut in a plank just
above the sidewalk. This little niche
was unknown to some of the citizens
of the town and was not easily
discovered by strangers.
Mail placed in the new box during
the night is removed by the
staff of the local post office each
morning.

Kerr Would Bar
Sale Tobacco Seed J
To Foreign Nations a]
C(
WASHINGTON, July 15.?Repre- al
sentative John H. Kerr would prohi- 01
bit the shipment of fine flue-cured ir
tcbacco seed to foreign countries. b(
He would stop the competition that ei
comes from that source. bl
Judge Kerr represents one of the 1
great farming districts of the Unit- p
ed States, where a very large per 131
Icentage of the flue-cured tobacco ,
? ' ? f - ' f -1 L Q
| usea in tne manuiaciure ci cigarei- ^
tes and smoking tobacco is grown.
These tobacco products contribute c
approximately $400,000,000 of re- v
venue to the Federal Government, h
and no other commodity is taxed L
like the cigarettes and smoking to- F
bacco 'that comes from the flue- iv
cured crops. a
Judge Kerr introduced a bill today
providing a penalty of $5,000 T
"for the unlawful exportation of tobacco
seed from this country to another
for the purpose of the cultivation
of 'the American type to to- n
bacco." t(
This is most interesting legisla- 11
tion and will no doubt raise legal
questions which will have to be set- fcl
tied by Federal court. r<
Mr. Kerr, for a number of years
a member of the judiciary of the I
/State, has <the reputation, of being a >
fine lawyer and will be prepared to
defend this legislation.
n 11-1- * !_1.U II
| "ine reason ior mis legislation,
i said Mr. Kerr, "is that in recent p
years foreign tobacco producers h
have been purchasing many thou- a
sand pounds of American tobacco U
seed, principally that 'type of to- a
bacco used in the manufacture of 1<
cigarettes and smoking tobacco, and b
'have been planting this tobacco in a
(foreign countries. The first year b
these seed produce a type of tobac- tl
co which is a fair substitute for the ri
American tobacco. After one year it e;
deteriorates because of climatic and w
soil conditions, and it becomes nec- o
essary to secure American seed for n
each crop. A large percentage of w
American flue-cured tobacco is ex- a
ported, and unless we can find a a
market for this raw material, the t<
industry here in America will be g
seriously injured and our revenue t<
impaired. It is imperative to protect ci
the producers and manufacturers n
and exporters of American tobacco, n
The welfare of our country demands b
that these industries should not be a
destroyed. I will have this matter b
thoroughly investigated, and if it is n
necessary for Federal legislation to c
protect and vouchsafe th tobacco Si
industry of this country it must be w
secured." a

lows that the taxpayers are reared
to pay $10,448.60 less taxes

Praotically one-half of the xeducon

E the cut was due /to saving; in

babbit Wins Fight
With Chicken Snake
LITTLETON, July 19.?While
assing through his pasture he
eard a rabbit squeal and saw a
Dmmotion in some bushes nearby,
rpon investigation, he found that
chicken snake, five cr six feet in
;ngth had captured a young rabit.
While the rabbit was struggling
nd apparently helpless the old rabit
came rushing up and attacked
be snake. The snake immediately
sleased his prey and bent all his
nergies toward escape. In other
rords, "he did not stand on the
rder of his going, but went." The
lother rabbit would overtake him
ith a spring, catch him in the back
nd shake him just as a dog shakes
rabbit; however, the snake was
)o heavy for her to maintain her
rip and he would break away, only
) be overtaken again by the rabbit,
aught and shaken again. He finally
